Septic System Cleaning & Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for keeping your septic system running smoothly and preventing costly repairs. We recommend pumping every 3-5 years depending on household size and usage.
Why Regular Cleaning Matters
Regular septic tank pumping and cleaning is the most important maintenance task for your system. Here's why it matters.
Prevents System Failure
Regular pumping prevents solid buildup that can clog your drain field and cause system failure.
Extends System Life
Proper maintenance can extend your septic system's lifespan by 10-20 years or more.
Saves Money
Preventive maintenance costs far less than emergency repairs or system replacement.
Protects Health
Prevents sewage backups and contamination that can pose health risks to your family.
Environmental Protection
Keeps untreated wastewater from contaminating groundwater and nearby water sources.
Early Problem Detection
During pumping, we can identify potential issues before they become major problems.
How Often Should You Pump?
The frequency of septic tank pumping depends on several factors. Here's a general guide:
People
Every 5 years with a 1,000-gallon tank
People
Every 3-4 years with a 1,000-gallon tank
People
Every 2-3 years with a 1,000-gallon tank
Note: These are general guidelines. Actual frequency may vary based on usage patterns, garbage disposal use, and tank size. We can help determine the best schedule for your household.
